Running 4.4-STABLE, I have Newsyslog set to trim the "alias.log" for the natd packet log. However, after it trims the log, it will not restart. I suppose this has to do with natd being hard to stop or pause during trim and probably the usual SIGHUP will not do the job. I have tried with signal 30, but no dice either. While debugging the Firewall, I found it took kill 9 to make the natd listen to reason and stop to so I could load new ipfw rules. Have looked everywhere for this solution and the only info found was to use the SIGHUP 30.... but it doesn't work here. UNLESS, the solution is just that I need to run a script with kill 9 in it, then restart natd as I have done manually. But, if there is a more elegant solution would appreciate knowing about it. ....much obliged! Best regards, Jack L.
